Consolidate consumption on the basic role of economic development

With the general improvement of my country's epidemic prevention and control situation, the promotion of consumer policies is gradually implemented, and the recovery of the consumer market is obvious. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the growth rate of the total retail sales of social consumer goods in June rolled up, an increase of 3.1%year -on -year. In the second half of the year, consumption should be restored to good momentum, boosting consumption confidence, expanding consumption scenarios, and consolidating the basic role of consumption in economic development.

In the first half of the year, the consumer market showed the characteristics of "rapid basic living consumption, steady growth of online retail, and decline in service consumption". Units above the limit of grain, oil, food, and beverage retail sales increased by 9.9%and 8.2%year -on -year, respectively, and the basic living consumption of residents was guaranteed; Affected by the epidemic, the decline in service consumption has declined significantly: catering revenue decreased by 7.7%year -on -year, and other service consumption such as tourism travel has also decreased.

In order to cope with the impact of the epidemic, since April, my country has issued a series of measures such as the "Opinions on Further Release of Consumption Potential to Promote the Continuity of Consumption", coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic and promote the promotion of consumption, further consolidate the basic role of consumption on economic development, promote the promotion Establish a new development pattern. From the perspective of the situation in June, domestic consumption has undergone positive changes: not only the growth rate of most commodities retail growth, the consumption of commodities has driven significantly, and the consumption of service consumption has improved significantly, and consumption affected by the early epidemic has also increased rapidly.

The domestic consumption has been impacted by the epidemic, showing a rising trend, and the active changes have increased significantly. Although consumer recovery also faces restricted factors such as slow growth in residents' income and limited consumption scenarios, the expansion of my country's consumption scale, structure upgrade, and model innovation will not change. In addition, social security continues to improve, and the continuous efforts to promote employment policy to promote consumption policy will continue to make efforts. Consumption is expected to maintain continuous recovery. In the second half of the year, we still need to make a multi -party force to ensure that the overall consumption is steadily recovering.

First of all, we should further grasp the implementation of policies. By consolidating traditional consumption, accelerating the development of emerging consumption, improving urban consumption, and expanding rural consumption, while efficiently coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic and the development of economic and social development, it is more active to activate the consumer atmosphere.

Secondly, create a new scene of consumption, expand new consumption space, and further explore consumer potential. It is necessary to promote consumption recovery from the perspective of better satisfaction and release of consumer demand, achieve stable consumption growth, and play a basic role for economic stable growth. In response to the difficulties and problems in the process of consumption recovery, new scenarios are constantly creating new scenes, promoting consumption upgrades, thereby promoting consumption growth.

Again, while paying attention to consumption leadership, we must implement the measures to help small and micro enterprises. Affected by the epidemic, the consumer service market subjects, especially small and micro enterprises, generally face business difficulties such as a sharp decline in income and increased rigid cost pressure. We must continue to increase direct assistance or subsidies for difficult industries and small and micro enterprises to help market entities reduce operations operations. cost. In addition, we need to guide financial institutions to increase loans, and actively use tools such as re -loan and discounting to support small and medium -sized enterprises to re -production.

In general, the characteristics of strong consumption toughness and potential in my country have not changed, and the fundamental fundamentals of consumer development have not changed for a long time. With the effectiveness of various policies and measures, the epidemic is gradually controlled, and the consumer market is expected to continue to show the development trend.
